Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client with suspected pulmonary edema. Which finding is most indicative of this condition?

Question 2 of 5
A pregnant client comes to the prenatal clinic for a routine visit. As the nurse is completing a nutritional analysis, it is determined that the client needs additional iron. Which food is best for the nurse to include in a diet plan for this pregnant client who needs additional iron?

Question 3 of 5
A client with a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is receiving chemotherapy. Which assessment finding indicates a need for immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A fever of 102°F in a chemotherapy client suggests possible neutropenic sepsis, a life-threatening infection requiring immediate intervention.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about warfarin (Coumadin) therapy. Which food should the client limit to avoid interfering with the medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Broccoli is high in vitamin K, which can antagonize warfarin's anticoagulant effect, so intake should be limited or consistent to maintain stable INR levels.
Question 5 of 5
The admitting nurse documents a client's dietary information. Which information is most likely to contribute to the client's complaint of constipation?
